(Re)Placing Testimony
This article draws a structural analogy between symptom and poetry: between symptoms reported by Freud’s patients in psychoanalysis’s early years, the silencing effect of violence on language registered in contemporary trauma neuroscience, and poetry written by women during the Chilean dictatorship. The analogy is structural rather than clinical. It rests on a shared relation to the silencing effect of violence on language—a relation that psychoa…
La forma de la falta
Este artículo explora el concepto de “indexación” y “archivo afectivo”con vistas a articular las maneras en que la falta en tanto afecto se ha constituído históricamente en la poesía de la generación NN en Chile. Este archivo poético feminista y contraautoritario se constituye a partir de condiciones materiales determinadas y de discriminación interseccional. Expandiendo el concepto de “afecto” que Lauren Berlant desarrolla en “Cruel Optimism”, m…
Specters of Justice
According to Jacques Derrida in Specters of Marx, a specter, a ghost, is not simply nothing, and the urgency to address their existence—to address them—can be incited in the name of justice—thought as a certain kind of specter.

Estética de la ambigüedad y política en la antipoesía de Nicanor Parra
Como todas las expresiones artísticas durante la dictadura militar de Augusto Pinochet, la antipoesía fue obligada a negociar lo que podía ser dicho con lo que el poeta quería decir. Esta negociación dio pie a una serie de experimentos con el lenguaje, incluyendo la ambigüedad sistemática y la puesta en cuestión de la autoridad del autor, el anacronismo, la parodia, la ironía, etc. Estas técnicas son leídas en este artículo como un mecanismo para…
The Ghosts of the Latinx Archive
This article reads the work of two contemporary Latinx poets, Daniel Borzutzky and Rosa Alcalá, who focus their writings on the most fragile aspects of the diasporic Latinx experience: trauma, loss of language, and, more generally, things that resist formulation and articulation. Reading their work as an archive of what is suppressed, resisted by language, and erased renders a provocative interpretation of what we think of as the Latinx archive a…
